Epps Family Planters
We have "Pastured Pork" from rare breeds such as the Large Black Hog and Red Wattles which are breeds of hogs common to your and my forefather's hogs. These hogs are on the American Livestock Breeders Conservancy list as "critical". They do not do well in the mass produced "Hog Farms" of today. They do well in a free range pastured enviroment, they take longer to mature and have a taste that can not be achieved by our "modern day hogs". There will never be any hormones, growth drugs in our pork. We will care for our animals and if they need antibiotics they will be given to maintain their health and life. These animals will be taken out of our natural program and still be offered as pork, but only as non-natural.
We are a small family farm, growing a small variety of produce and blackberries the natural way. We have pick-your own for those who can come out to visit us in central Texas.
We are growing the natural way, we consider our practices "sustainable" and "natural".
If you really want to know what is in the foods you eat,,,You need to know your Farmer on a personal level. We encourage you to come to the farm and meet us and see for yourself exactly what we are doing. I almost always have a pot of coffee on.
For more information, please call or write.During the Blackberry season farm hours: Mon--Sun, 7:00a.m.-6:00p.m. We are located near Calvert, Texas, about 30 minutes north of Bryan/College Station.
